Ganthel was a planet[5] located in the Ganthel system in the Bormea sector of the Core Worlds,[1] along the Rimma Trade Route.[3] A species of beetles known as night-beetles inhabited Ganthel's outback.[5] It was an industrial world, with many shipyards and loading docks that commonly exported kelerium in large crates.[6] The spice- and slavery-dealing criminal group Kotaska operated on the planet until the Galactic Empire arrived and dismantled them, along with some other criminal elements. The native Human female Rae Sloane, who was young and poor at the time, longed to leave the world for a richer and greener one.[7] Eventually attaining much prestige within the Imperial ranks, she estimated that Baron Lero Danthe spent more time in his suit than her family had spent in their house on Ganthel.[6]
A reader of Bormea Today from Ganthel wrote a question to the news agency which was later asked to the newly elected Senator Mon Mothma, who represented Chandrila in the Galactic Senate of the Galactic Republic, in 8 BFE on what her favorite Core Drive musician was.[8] The Resistance's J-Squadron pilot Leeson Juben hailed from Ganthel.[4]
